Two weeks to get a ring online?

[Skinner]

Hi all. So obviously buying an ering isn't something to rush, but I've got till the 12th to have a ring in hand or vacation proposal isn't happening. Are there any vendors that can work that fast? Looking for a split shank princess cut.. Please help!

I'd ask James Allen. When I purchased from them they were always asking if I was on a timeline or needed it by a specific date. Plus someone on here recently bought one from them and he got it pretty fast.

What's your budget?

 

[Skinner]

I couldn't find any settings at James Allen that worked. Budget is around 5-7k

Whiteflash has a few split shanks. I'd live chat with then and ask if its doable. I .mean doesn't hurt to inquire.

This setting might work but it says it takes some time, so it might not be in the works, but again, I'd see if there is anything that can be done, or if they gave a setting similar they cold do faster. (In 14k under 2k)

One of the settings on whiteflash is perfect.. i'm just not sold on their diamonds. I'm not an expert, but it looks like the lowest depth% I'm seeing is 73%.

Their princess cut ACAs are one of the best princesses you can get. The depth of a princess is a lot deeper than rounds, if that's what you're thinking.

You're the guy who started the Verragio thread right? Probably posting in that thread would give people more context. I would say that you already got some good advice there. Spend your money on a great princess cut and put it in a simple setting for now, which your fiancée can upgrade later. I think it would be hard for you to put the perfect diamond and the perfect setting together all in under two weeks.

ERD has done it for my friend in those timelines. I think GOG can do it as well with their large selection of ready made settings.

Best bet is to buy pre-loved and all ready made. Can be done for sure off ebay

None of these are amazing but you want fast right and left it until last minute ...

I found a great option but don't want to post it here in case someone else snatches it up. Msg me through loupetroop.com if you search for "Palladium Ring Setting in Great Condition".

So now that I've caught my breath and can relax a bit now, I'd really like hearing what you guys think of the diamond I snagged. I'm happy to have gotten a WF diamond, I know their quality is great. Love that it's an Ideal, and also happy I made it to 1ct on my budget. My only real concern as mentioned in a prior post was depth of 76%. From what I've read, that's just slightly out of ideal range. I know you can't judge a princess on numbers alone, but I'd like to hear all comments, both positive and negative.

 

[motownmama]

I think your stone looks gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing negative to say from me! Can you post a pic of your setting please?

Nice, good thing it will be on time!

 

[Skinner]

A huge hats off to WF will be in store once I have this ring in posession. They've been truly awesome so far.

 

[diamond_concierge]

A wonderful suggestion! I am a big fan of the "placeholder" ring. Focus on the perfect diamond and then work together on the ring of her dreams, especially since she will be the one wearing it every day!

 

[jmarshall]

I really have to ask.... Why the rush? Why did you wait so long? Why the procrastination????? I need a ring for a vacation proposal as well, I need it by the 19th. I started shopping 6 MONTHS ago.... It will be here on Wednesday......

Late to this thread but want to say your ring is gorgeous! She will be thrilled! Be sure to come back with handshots after you propose.
